Some nice sea glass findings today! #encinitas

Interesting...

Finland? This happened in Finland… awful.

Wow...someone who acknowledges the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I am a NMU grad and so happy about this! #NMU #upperpeninsula

Even the ocean thinks we need rescued.... #pacificocean #encinitas

The gross ecosystem product of oyster reefs 🧪🦑🌎

Just saw "Meta took down the No Kings instagram." This is what I think of that. No Kings. #nokingsday

I 🤎🩶💚🧡💛 Seaweed. #pacificocean

Not the best photo~ this is a tiny creature caught my eye washed ashore in the surf on my walk. Blue Button aka Porpita Porpita. Looking like a tiny jelly fish but they aren't- they are a colony of smaller living organisms ( hydroids). First time seeing it in SoCal. #bluebutton #pacificocean

There is just something sinister in the Santa Ana winds. Unsettling. It’s not like any other wind. I think it lets us know that nature is way stronger than us and beware. #santaanas #wind

Honey bee stingers contain two tiny self-powered venom pumps that can keep injecting even after being ripped from the insect's body. These pumps move in opposite rhythm inside the stinger to push venom forward while limiting backflow! 🧪 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Tropical Storm weather today in San Diego. #pacificocean #storm

“If you don’t like public executions just don’t watch it” says the crowd trying to ban drag shows and books

I just saw The Green Flash! It’s been awhile…! #greenflash #pacificocean

This is how she won a Nobel

I am noticing more and more bluff failures in So Cal. This is a piece of a bluff that crumbled recently. Quite a large chunk. Looks cool in the afternoon sun... #encinitas #pacificocean

In this cohort study, Zhengyang Zhu and colleagues developed a ML-derived cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) #aging index that outperformed established biological age measures in identifying high-risk CKM profiles and predicting mortality🧪 #MedSky #AI #cardiovascular plos.io/4rTLHyv

Good news from the Badlands! Today, October 6, Thunder Valley Community Development Corporation, a Lakota nonprofit based on the Pine Ridge Reservation, plans to return 50 bison to nearly 40,000 acres in the Stronghold area of Badlands National Park.

Um… this crazy person wants to kill all of us that live in San Diego and LA. This is beyond insane.

I’m with Ken on this one. As someone who studies the East African Rift System, I frequently fear that many answers to our paleoclimate/environment/evolution questions may have answers from outside the depocenters. As we say, there’s no fossil mountain goats! 🐐 🧪⚒️ www.nytimes.com/2026/10/05/s...

I can not believe RFK is still in office. He is not educated about anything he is in charge of and he is killing people.

That's our money they stole, #ScienceSky 🧪 We have to reclaim it.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

ICE killed a RN while helping some one. I am still so upset and sad about this.

Great video! I think rattlesnakes are cool. They are vital to ecosystems especially rodent control. We’ve had quite a few near our home. I leave them alone or if necessary I have a “Rattlesnake Wrangler” that I can call and he will relocate the snake to a safer place for all of us.

The Trump administration has delayed a final decision on Endangered Species Act protections for monarch butterflies, with a new deadline of June 6, 2030. Monarchs remain without protections while the decision is pending. The agency could act sooner, but this agreement allows years more of waiting. 😔

This is devastating and cruel. Heartbreaking....

Every day a bit of daylight is lost, gray marine layers, cooler air, hot tea...ramps up my knitting. The yarns, the rhythm of knitting, the effects of the colors and textures of yarn, planning new projects...makes me calm and content in a world of chaos. #knitting #autumn
